Chapter 12- Grey eyes

"She's gone!" jack scrambled frantically around the tower. The titans, as well as Flame emerged from their rooms groggily. "Nyx, she's gone" Raven took her hood off.

"What? Why would she leave?" Flame gave a snicker.

"Well, judging by the looks of the place I can't guess why" Raven glared and Robin remained confused.

"Why would she leave?" he asked in utter confusion. Beast boy chimed in.

"Yeah, what did we" he flashed back to that simple phrase he had uttered under his breath, we don't need another Raven. He sank down and Raven instantly linked her mind to his. She seethed and slowly turned around.

"You little cockroach! No wonder she left!"

"Sorry" he whined.

"Where could she have gone?" Cyborg asked.

"I know" Raven said jumping into a sitting position. She chanted azareth metrion zinthos… She found herself standing in a forest, light poured in through the treetops and birds sang. "She's in the mountains" she said standing up, "I'll find her"

Meanwhile…

I've seen that life

Touches us with pain

And we change

Becoming strangers to our friends

Tell me what happens along the way

Nyx wandered aimlessly through the forest. The trees were tall and swayed in the wind; they almost seemed to form a chapel or haven. Birds sang as she walked through brush and foliage. She continued to walk until she came to a lake. She sat by its side and watched the lily pads float by. She caught sight of her reflection, a masked girl with long brown hair. Can you tell me who I am? She asked the water as if waiting for a reply. As if cued the wind blew softly, causing her mask to slide off. It fell into the water, causing her to face her unmasked self. Grey eyes stared back at her from the waterscape. Her eyes lacked coloring and were a grayish color with black specks. She quickly grabbed the mask out of the water and settled it on her face. As she glance up she noticed what seemed to be a temple. It was almost hidden by the foliage. "What the" she stood up and glided across the lake, intrigued by the ruins.

I thought of us

Hard to talk these days

Did we change?

Or were we strangers all along

Tell me what caused us to turn away

There's a wall of silence

Miles across

A wall between us

Holding back

Holding back our loss

Raven glided through the forest trying her best to sense where Nyx had gone. Where are you? You have to be here somewhere…

Nyx reached the temple and entered it cautiously; it was overgrown by moss and weeds. There were portraits of people on the walls, but who were they? She cleared a patch of dust away and gasped. Raven found herself standing at a lake; she glanced across to see a ruined temple.

I moved ahead

Thinking you'd be there

But it changed

And now we're strangers to our past

How did I lose you along the way?

The portraits were of the guardians; there stood Jack, Flame, and several others. They looked so regal, proud. She came to the last portrait and stood in awe; a familiar pair of grey eyes stared back at her. She saw a girl with black, silver flecked wings, long brown hair, and a smile. It looked so much like her; this was more than a case of déjà vu. I have to be the last guardian, she thought to herself, because I've been one before.

"Hello Nyx"

Raven stood behind her, Nyx jumped and turned.

"Raven, what are you doing here?" Raven smiled.

"That telepathy thing; it works. Nyx, I know you're confused, but running won't solve anything." Nyx stood silent. "We do want you to be a titan, but it sounds like you're meant for bigger things. All I know is you and I are linked somehow; meeting was no coincidence." She walked to the portraits, "This temple is very old, but it's ironic you found it" she came to Nyx's portrait and stopped. "Ah, the last guardian; you" She smiled, "I think it's time we went back to the tower"

I've seen that life

Touches us with pain

And we change

Becoming strangers to ourselves

Tell me what happens along the way

How did I lose you along the way?

Nyx and Raven arrived back at the tower. Nyx stood on the roof; Jack joined her.

"Where did you go?" he asked

"Somewhere I needed to go" she answered, "but I think I'm ready to look into this guardian thing" he smiled

"Good; I think it's time you went to Dimensions Palace."
